Why is it that IE turns the background of some input/text elements to
light yellow? I can't find any information as to why or how it's
doing this...and I want to stop it.
Keep in mind when you "want to stop" normal behavior of the browser, if
you succeed then people that expect that behavior will become
disoriented and perhaps will believe that your site is broken. In
essence, the answer to your question may be "IE turns some input/text
elements to light yellow because the user wants them that way." You
haven't given us enough background to understand if this general rule
applies to your circumstance.
I'm not sure about IE, but Safari does this to indicate which fields
were filled in by the auto-fill and which the user had modified.
Without this distinction, the users may submit more incomplete or
inaccurate forms.
